Someday

Some day we will find
what we are looking for.

or maybe not

maybe we'll find something
much greater than that.

Angelica Tanaquin May 2018

these mere photographs
could never contain our love

and no book of any length
could ever describe
how I feel about you.

Same Star

I feel like a part of my soul has loved you
since the beginning of everything.

Maybe we're from the same star.

Free

To everything I've ever lost,

thank you for setting me free.

When?

Why should I be
You're not even mine.
Or are we just waiting
for that moment in time?

The Dark

Waiting up for no one,
Hoping for a sign,
Watching for a movement,
Dreaming of a white flag,
I'm awake,
Why?
The dark,
Terrifies me, more than it should,
More than it has,
Less than it will,
The unknown,
Before so well embraced,
Now is cowered before,
Optimism pull me through,
Forgive me this unpleasant chore.

Boomerang

I can never bury
my love for you
deep enough
for it to stop finding
its way back
into the light.
The more I try,
the harder
it bounces back
like a boomerang.
